I love the sound of S62B50 in the afternoon.

This is the worst Mustang. After the Cobra R, I expected more. Instead, we got a car that has insane markups, no IRS, no TR6060, no roll cage, and California even held back the TracKey. I was expecting a full on GT3 rival, but noooooooooo, we got a "rival" to the M3, a car which is hardly ever tracked. Matching the…

As fast as a paddle shift 360 CS!

Sounds quite lively!

Here's proof, it's even on their latest V8 engine, the twin turbocharged, direct injected M278/M157 and naturally aspirated and direct injected M152 V8. It was also on the M272/3 V6 and V8 engine families. It's even on their newest turbocharged 4 cylinder and the M276 V6.

Mercedes still has it, it's Audi and BMW.

Automatic and a convertible? Crack pipe. It isn't even a real M3 because it doesn't have the S50Bxx. I'd rather have an E36 328iT with some goodies and a 5MT over any US-spec E36 M3.

First American car? Duryea Bros. Motor Wagon, made in the nearest town to me, Springfield, MA of all places!

This car really is cynical. I could get a GT500 and stick a Kenne Bell twin screw and maybe even swap it to a C6 auto if my goal was to drag race, and I'll have better, if not, even more consistent results than this car could even with the best driver. What's more, is that even with a roll cage, the modded GT500 will…

They use a Kenne Bell twin screw on this sucker, looks like a Roots type, but it's more efficient, and it gives the same kind of low-down, stump pulling torque as a Roots type. Centrifugal blowers don't quite deliver the torque curve that's needed for this application, but on track, I'd definitely rather have a…

It's still uncool if it only has a direktschaltgetriebe, which means that it'll be even more of a money pit. I'll take my money pit with a proper manual transmission and 3 pedals thank you very much.

Keep in mind they were going to make the G8 GT with a manual transmission, and yes, there was pretty serious demand for it. Then they brought only a couple thousand GXP's, and that's why GXP's are still holding on to their value.

I'll have to say no thanks.

There's only one electronic shifter that works and that's the one in most Mercedes-Benzes today, mainly because its on the column. I don't think people who like trucks will take to this silly shifter all that well.

That's an 8 hour job isn't it?

Wow my post was incomplete, I was going task whether it's going to have any benefits as far as performance and fuel economy and whether it's going to be more reliable in the long run. Thanks man!

I absolutely loved the CS Concept. Such a shame it never made it to production.

Same with fast non-M BMW's like the 330i ZHP, 335i, 335is, 535i, 550i, 650i...it's a real shame, but at least there are more tuning options for BMW's than there are for Jags.

Thanks for the heads up, I was actually looking for a Corolla/Matrix/Vibe 5MT as my next car to replace my Sentra. Is the 6 speed goin

You need wonder no more why people don't see A7's and Volkswagen CC's and Mercedes-Benz CLS-classes in the states a lot. Their practicality is severely hampered by the fact that it doesn't have a "bitch seat", and this is the reason why a lot of people ended up rejecting the VW CC despite it being a better car overall…
